Bio/Research
Caswell's research interests centre on innate resistance to bacterial infection and on the pathogenesis of infectious diseases of the respiratory system in animals.
Pneumonia in beef cattle and swine is a useful system for investigating how stress and viral infection influence the interaction between the host, the pathogen, and the environment.
Potential applications include identification of animals at risk of developing bacterial pneumonia, better identification of risk factors for disease susceptibility; genetic improvement of innate resistance to bacterial infection; and augmentation of innate resistance through strategies of animal management, nutrition, or therapeutic intervention other than antibiotics.
